Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic country, with over 17,500 islands and more than 80,000 kilometers of coastline, fostering a rich and diverse blue carbon resource. Amid the continuous growth of the global carbon market, a local startup, CarbonEthics, is determined to bring blue carbon onto international trading platforms such as those in Singapore and Japan.
Founded in 2019, CarbonEthics currently derives its main revenue from carbon consulting and assisting in the planting of mangroves. They offer nature-based carbon credit programs to help companies offset their carbon emissions, focusing particularly on "blue carbon" absorbed by coastal or marine plants such as mangroves and seagrasses.
